CREATING A CALMING EFFECT ON CATS
In new and stressful environments, or when traveling, Feliway demonstrates a calming effect on cats. The presence of Feliway prompts rapid onset of exploratory and feeding behavior in hospitalized cats. Fifty-six hospitalized cats were assigned to one of three groups.

• Feliway treated cages
• Natural feline facial pheromone treated cages
• Untreated cages

Cats in all cages were observed to determine the time interval between entrance to the cages and the initiation of exploratory behavior and feeding behavior.

Study Results:

Stressful environments include:
· New home
· Transport
· Hospitalization
· Boarding
· New cat
· New furniture
· Unfamiliar people
· Other animals
